Last month, I took a little road trip up to Northern California. One of the places I stopped at during my time up there was the mission at Carmel-by-the-sea. Its chapel was quite beautiful, with its arched ceiling, relics depicting madonna and child, and educational paintings adorning its walls. The campus itself was quite pretty as well.
For quite some time now, I had manually logged my viewed movies in a trusty journal, listing films that I’d seen in chronological order, then jotting down some brief thoughts on my experience. Sometime ago, I digitized my list of movies watched to a google doc, while continuing to write memos in a physical book. NOW, with the improvements of IMDb’s “My Movies” section, I’ve discovered that I can digitize both my list AND my notes, with the option to organize the movies by several different options. Genres, ratings, showtimes, and many more categories to choose from. It’s great! I’m most likely going to keep my movie journal though.
I’ve started to compile a list of all the movies I’ve seen in my lifetime, with the exception of the ones that I was too young to remember even the basic details of. It can be viewed here. I’m adding to the list everyday as people remind me of certain movies that I’ve seen but forgot to list. It’s taken me a good 2 hours or so of my life to compile this list so far, but it’s been quite a ride, remembering when, with who, and in what circumstances I watched the movie in.
Good morning. It’s 1pm, and I’m saying good morning. How wonderful is that?! I haven’t slept in like this in a while. Haven’t had so much time to not do anything either. The restless side of me wants to dig out and start tackling items on my things-to-do-when-i-have-more-time list, but a larger part of me is telling me to slow down and rest for today.
So I woke up late this morning and hung out in bed with my computer. Caught up with my reader, looked at images from my contacts on flickr, watched movie trailers, and sent greetings to some friends on facebook. All this time spent looking at images inspired me to take more pictures, sew, knit, cook, travel. Now if only can find my camera charger, I’ll be ready to go…
